I'm like that every day so maybe I won't even notice. My Mum in England had it no side effects at all, she still thinks she'll get a cup of tea and some boiscuits, both shots in her 90's.

My friend in the US just got his second Pfizer jab. He was in bed for almost 2 days. Another friend got his second jab and nothing. Another is suffering pain in his arm 2 months after his second jab. Hard to tell what's going to happen. I got Pfizer first shot ..nothing but slight arm pain at injection site----get my 2nd on 19th....will try to report back....

And of course the thousands of "incidents" officially recorded in USA, UK, Europe, and the hundred of... deaths, linked to the vaccines. The blood clots for AZ etc. The fact that even the UK has decided that AZ should not be given to people under 40 years old (source Reuters). The fact that the UE has decided not to renew its contract with AZ and J&J (source Reuters)... And has even attacked in justice AZ (source ABC) etc. ???? Sooooooooo many good news about vaccines... ! We are thrilled. COVID-19 is on the retreat in the United States and Europe due to the largest vaccination push in decades. You seem more thrilled in few cases of side effects which the vaccine producers have made known. Your distorted sense of judgement seem misplaced. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Moonlover Posted May 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2021 The UK report 1 in 4 people are having side affects, non of them serious. Most side affects are, in fact, an indication that the vaccine is working. From the UK's NHS Scotland web site: ''It’s normal to experience side effects after the vaccine. It shows the vaccine is teaching your body’s immune system how to protect itself from the disease, however not everyone gets them''. So man up you lot and take your medicine. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like leaving it out in the heat which may cause it to spoil. How the vaccine is administered (where they place the shot on your arm) has a lot to do with the pain the next day. My first Moderna practically nothing left arm. Second right arm up slightly higher hurt the next 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a fairly bad reaction to yellow fever vaccine when I first got it in 1964. Do people think they should have discontinued the use of that vaccine. If it wasn't for the mass vaccination in the 50s, many wouldn't be here today. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cormanr7 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) I do not have specific info on side effects of the Sinovac vaccine but two weeks ago there was a nice article in the Lancet describing side effects (NOT including rare conditions such as blood clots and the like) in people in the UK vaccinated with either Pfizer or AZ (mostly applying to first dose only as few second dose had been delivered). Each group consisted of ca 300,000 persons, so fairly limited. You have to read it for yourself (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(21)00224-3/fulltext), but some of the main observations: 1. Systemic side effects were reported in 13.5% of the Pfizer and 34% in the AZ group, respectively, with the bulk of complaints being headache and fatigue. 2. Local effects were reported by 72% in the Pfizer and 59% in the AZ group, with the bulk of complaints being tenderness and pain at the injection side. 3. Side effects were usually most severe after one day and then subsided but might take a week to disappear completely. 4. Data on side effects after a 2nd dose (only reported for Pfizer) are limited, but showed an increase in systemic effects (to 22%) whereas local effects were comparable to the first shot (69%). In general it would seem that the various complaints are typical for any vaccination (not specifically COVID).

Caldera Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 "Her condition gradually improved after pillows were used to help her to breathe more comfortably" Sorry, but side effects at such a low level are to be expected and not at all newsworthy.

Dogmatix Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 That just about does it. If I am offered Sinovac when I go for my appointment next month, I think I will pass. Anutin declared it is safe for over 60s just because Sinovac, a dishonest company that has been caught paying bribes to regulators in China, says so. The WHO said there was no compelling evidence that it is safe for over 60s. Sinovac has not submitted its stage 3 trial results for publication in a respected peer reviewed journal. If there are lots of bad side effects in China, you can be sure that has been covered up. In exchange for the unknown risk, you get unknown protection which is by all acccounts is at the low end of the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
